Settlers (2021): The screenplay wasn't particularly different in any way and didn't need to be set on Mars, except for the tin can on wheels I suppose, and I bet it was shot on Earth anyway.
Baby Done (2020): Pregnancy is a popular vehicle for comedies. Rose Matafeo is appealing as the mum to be.; DVD $29.95
Incitement (2019): The screenplay portrays very well a person whom it seems his every day is overly influenced by politics and religion.; DVD $29.95
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang (2010): To some ears, the kids might get a bit screechy but it is great fantasy entertainment otherwise.
Debt, The (2010): Unfortunately, the nature of the beast (the screenplay) meant that Helen Mirren didn't really have any say until well into proceedings. Jessica was fine but the story whilst she was at the helm couldn't steer a straight course and got distracted.
Lord of the Flies (1963): The screenplay still resonates 60 years on – the behaviour of the young Tories doesn't need a great stretch of the imagination to be believable.
Intouchables, The (2011): Although the material is light to its credit it is not too mawkish. The screenplay touches bucket list territory but I'm surprised it didn't get more mileage (or French kms) out of the Omar character's family to add a bit more substance to proceedings.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Junebug (2005): The screenplay requires patience but that task is made easier by the performances of Adams, Davidtz, and Weston.
A Most Wanted Man (2014): Based on a Le Carre novel it therefore needs concentration. Hoffman's accent was annoying and I don't see how this kind of falseness can be seen as a positive for anyone or anything.
Wild Goose Lake, The (Nan fang che zhan de ju hui) (2019): Most of the screenplay takes place in the dark so we will have to take it on trust that it was about the Wild Goose Lake and not something else.
